The spot is absolutely stunning with its pristine and golden sand. The water in the sea is ideal for swimming, especially on hot days. It's a clean and picturesque spot that's perfect for a day of sun, sand, and relaxation.

The beach has a lovely golden sand and is quite picturesque. However, it's important to note that there are sea urchins on the offshore rocks, so it's recommended to wear bathing shoes while in the water.
